It is a great thing to have a bank account, 
to check out when you like. If you keep j. 
adding to it to balance the drain, all right; | 
if not you can see what will happen. It is | 
precisely the same with your physical $ 
vigor. Suppose you have overdrawn, what 
then ? “ Collapse,” you will say—not neces 
sarily so. Observe.

centennial of the holding of the first fair, 
also at Syracuse, was seriously interfered 
with. A large part of the grounds was 
covered with water on what was to have 
been the opening day, and the getting of 
exhibits into position was almost an im¬ 
possibility. Through the indefatigable 
efforts of the officers in charge, however, 
the exhibition was finally opened and a 
very creditable fair was held, though it fell 
short both in exhibits and attendance of 
what it would have been had any reason¬ 
able weather prevailed. From noon Tues¬ 
day to the same hour Wednesday, 4% 
inches of rain fell in this city, the heaviest 
fall on record. At present writing the 
weather is clear and delightful. Light 
frosts®aro reported from some northern 
points, though no serious damage has re- 
suited. J" 
The Hop Reporting Company, of New 
York City,with a capital of $1,000, has been 
incorporated at Albany. Its object is to 
establish a bureau of information for the 
collection and distribution of market re¬ 
ports and hop statistics throughout the 
world.

Secretary Rusk on Tuesday Issued regu¬ 
lations to govern the inspection of salted 
pork or bacon for export provided for in 
what is known as the Meat Inspection Bill, 
which recently became a law. The regula¬ 
tions provide that whenever any foreign 
country requires inspection of salted pork 
or bacon imported from the United States 
all the packers or exporters desiring to ex¬ 
port to that country shall make application 
in writing to the Secretary of Agriculture 
1 for an inspection of their meats. Buyers, 
sellers or exporters of meats intended for 
exportation may also at any time make ap¬ 
plication to have their meats inspected. 
Applicants must agree to abide by the De¬ 
partment’s regulations and to mark pack¬ 
ages as prescribed in detail in the regulations 
issued. Certificates of inspection are to be 
given to applicants whose meats are found 
wholesome. Whenever inspection is re¬ 
quested at any other place than where the 
meats are packed the opening and closing 
of the packages will be at the expense of 
the applicant.

CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Hops. —There is but little trading, as 
holders have very firm views as to prices, 
which views are not shared by buyers. The 
Waterville Times, of recent date, says that 
the weather for the past; week has been 
abominable for the hop harvest, and has 
prevented many growers from finishing 
their picking, although nearly all the 
smaller ones are through and the pickers 
have departed. The large growers are still 
picking as the weather will permit, and 
they claim that the hops are keeping well 
in spite of the weather. It is admitted, 
however, that the soorer the harvest is 
finished now the better it will be for the 
quality of hops. Lice, rust and mold are 
reported in many yards, and the whipping 
which the hops have undergone during the 
storms has worked injury also. The mar¬ 
ket is very quiet at present. Since the 
purchase last week by one dealer of about 
100 bales, near Madison, for 40 cents, and 
the payment of 50 cents for a growth of 
7,000 pounds, business seems to be at a 
standstill. Growers who have a good article 
do not care to take 40 cents, and dealers are 
not offering much more than this. All 
agree that not much will be done till the 
crop is in bales and samples can be drawn. 
Meanwhile all hands seem to be playing a 
waiting game. A few branches of hops 
taken from a yard near Puyallup, Wash., 
which arrived here were covered with the 
regular hop louse, and were black and 
moldy. There is not the slightest doubt 
but that Washington has the aphis blight. 
A private letter received from Carlsbad, 
Germany, states that there will be only 
half a crop there, and that fly blight has 
utterly ruined hundreds of acres. 
Wheat does not change materially in 
price, though there are fluctuations on the 
market here from day to day as reports are 
favorable or unfavorable. In the spring- 
wheat belt, particularly in the States of 
Minnesota and the Dakotas, heavy rains 
have continued, and all the shocked wheat 
has been more or less water-soaked and 
damaged. Thrashing, of course, is greatly 
delayed, and there is no doubt that the 
grade of a great deal of the wheat has been 
lowered. Millers in the winter-wheat belt 
are still very free buyers, but the offerings 
of wheat are not large from farmers. The 
stock in the millers’ hands is considered 
large enough to last for from 60 to 90 days. 
The millers report a fair demand for flour. 
Excepting where there has been an excess 
of rain, the season has been favorable for 
seeding and reports from all parts of the 
country point to an increased acreage of 
winter wheat. 
CORN maintains its price well though ’ 
there has been a slight decline. The 
Western crop is said to be largely matured 
and out of danger from frost. 
Beans have advanced slightly. In addi¬ 
tion to the light stock on hand, the weather 
has been very unfavorable for the ripening 
crop and more or less damage is inevitable. 
It Is impossibe to accurately estimate this; 
but it probably is extensive enough to ma¬ 
terially strengthen holders’ views. Mar- 
r jws seem to be most affected by the rise. 
A dealer of this city has brought forward 
the first car lot of new California beaus. It 
consists of Red Kidney and Fave (Windsor) 
varieties. The samples were shown on the 
Produce Exchange, and attracted a good 
deal of attention, as they form, particularly 
the Fave variety, a novelty in appearance. 
The Dakotas report some good crop av¬ 
erages, considering the unfavorable season. 
•In some couuties in North Dakota the yield 
of oats is as high as 55. while the lowest is 
20. The lightest wheat average is 20 and the 
lowest seven in South Dakota. The highest 
wheat average recorded by several coun¬ 
ties is 18, and the lowest three. Oats aver¬ 
age six bushels an acre in Deul County, 
and four in Sanborn County. 
California fruits, which have formed 
such an important source of supply this 
season, are on the wane. The Bartlett 
Pears are practically all here. Several 
varieties, including Clairgeau, Diehl, 
Augonleme, Winter Nelis, etc., will come 
forward in considerable quantities for 
several weeks yet. Grapes are in greatest 
abundance at present, Tokays, Muscats and 
Rose Perus being the principal varieties. 
Peaches have varied most in price of any 
fruits reaching this market, due principally 
to variation in quality of fruit. Some mis¬ 
takes have been made in packing, but these 
will probably be remedied another season. 
Iu recent sales a line of 1,000 22-pound boxes 
of peaches realized an average of $1.75 per 
box, and blocks of perfect Bartletts made 
$4.25 per case. Last week’s receipts 
were 39 car loads, which sold promptly, 
late sales being the highest, as a number of 
cars were detained by a washout on the 
Erie. By auction Bartlett Pears ranged at 
$1.40 to $4.25 per box: peaches, $1.10 to $2.70; 
Seckel Pears, $5.25; Duchess, $2.50 to $2.87; 
San Jose Beurre Hardy, $1.90 to $2.70; other 
pears, $1.40 to $2. Japan Plums, $1.70; 
Golden Drop, $1.70 to $2.15; Egg Plums, 
$1.40 to $2.10; prunes, 65 cents to $1.90. 
Tokay Grapes, double .cases, $2.55 to $6.80; 
single, 90 cents to $2.95; Morocco, $3.05; 
Rose de Peru, 80 cents to $1.15 : Malvoise, 
$1.35 to $1.65; Muscat, 70 cents to $1.65; 
Black Hamburg, $1; figs, $1.10 to $1.85, in 
good order; red nectarines, 90 cents to 
$3.90, with very fancy, $6.50. Mr. Goodsell 
has worked hard to make the auction sys¬ 
tem a success and he deserves the favorable 
results he has attained.
